Jordan Bardella: this nickname that he doesn’t seem to appreciate
Those aren’t the only nicknames Jordan Bardella gets. Last Tuesday March 12, the favorite for the European elections was Thomas Sotto’s guest on the show The 4 truths, broadcast on France 2. The journalist then returned to one of the nicknames attributed to the candidate, echoing an investigation published by Point, on March 7. “What do you say to those who say: ‘Jordan Bardella speaks a lot, he speaks well, but he is not very present in the European Parliament, he is not very present in the Île-de-France regional council’ . They even nicknamed you ‘Jordan not very there'”, Thomas Sotto then asked him. Somewhat annoyed, Jordan Bardella replied with confidence: “Yes, uh, I have one of the best attendance rates of MEPs in the European Parliament, with 94% attendance at votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament.”
